Fedora: 2018-12f92ff831 Critical PHP Update - Segfault Fixes

fedora
Calendar Grey April 6, 2018
Scroller Fedora
Important PHP release for Fedora 27 fixes segfault problems and enhances general reliability and speed.
**PHP version 7.1.16** (29 Mar 2018) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#76025 (Segfault while throwing exception in error_handler)

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)

which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.

**PHP version 7.1.16** (29 Mar 2018) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#76025 (Segfault

while throwing exception in error_handler). (Dmitry, Laruence) * Fixed bug

php#76044 ('date: illegal option -- -' in ./configure on FreeBSD). (Anatol)

**FPM:** * Fixed bug php#75605 (Dumpable FPM child processes allow bypassing

opcache access controls). (Jakub Zelenka) **GD:** * Fixed bug php#73957

(signed integer conversion in imagescale()). (cmb) **ODBC:** * Fixed bug

php#76088 (ODBC functions are not available by default on Windows). (cmb)

**Opcache:** * Fixed bug php#76074 (opcache corrupts variable in for-loop).

(Bob) **Phar:** * Fixed bug php#76085 (Segmentation fault in buildFromIterator

when directory name contains a \n). (Laruence) **Standard:** * Fixed bug

php#74139 (mail.add_x_header default inconsistent with docs). (cmb) * Fixed bug

php#76068 (parse_ini_string fails to parse "[foo]\nbar=1|>baz" with segfault).
